Chapter 242 Fighting for the Ghost Doctor
Yun Zheng blinked her eyes, "You didn't let me win on purpose, did you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere became extremely strange and everyone looked at the queen.
What she said made some sense. The harem was the queen's territory. Could it be that she was completely unaware of such a serious incident as the collective poisoning of the princes?
The Queen's face fell, and she was filled with rage. "Yun Zheng, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Your Majesty, Princess Jinyun has falsely accused the mother of a nation, committing a crime of treason. Please punish her."
The emperor's eyes turned cold. "I also want to know why you have been so aggressive towards Jinyun today. She has never offended you before."
She usually pretended to be kind and treated the princes equally, but now, at the critical moment of life and death, she could no longer hide her selfish desires.
He is too hasty to help the Fourth Prince ascend to the throne by stepping on the corpses of other princes.
The Queen's expression was stiff. "She's too arrogant. She'll confiscate the property and exterminate the entire clan of anyone she dislikes. She has absolutely no womanly virtues. I'm just trying to teach her a lesson."
The emperor said indifferently, "Really? I hope this matter really has nothing to do with you."
The Queen looked hurt, "Your Majesty, you don't believe me?"
The emperor's gaze shifted to the ghost doctor, "Save the man first, and please give me some medicine."
The ghost doctor stood with his hands behind his back, "One pill costs ten thousand taels of gold."
A doctor exclaimed, "What?"
The ghost doctor's eyebrows were filled with impatience. "You don't have to pay, let's exchange the herbs. Thousand-year-old blood ginseng, thousand-year-old poria cocos, hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, Tianshan snow lotus, Cistanche deserticola, mermaid pearls..."
He carried a long list of medicinal herbs, all of which were extremely rare and precious.
Just one of them is worth a lot of money.
Someone couldn't help but say, "You are robbing money."
The ghost doctor looked arrogant, his nose turned up, "This is my rule, I pay you, you can treat me or not, if you don't want to, forget it."
The imperial physicians finally understood why the Ghost Doctor got the nickname. He was too arrogant, no wonder he was often hunted down.
"Princess Jinyun, please try to persuade him."
Yun Zheng looked at everyone in shock. "It seems that no one wants the princes to live. They're still in the mood to bargain at this moment."
"You...are all the accomplices."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expression changed.
"No, no, no, we are not."
The emperor frowned slightly, "Ghost Doctor, I promise you."
Without a word, the ghost doctor divided the pill into four portions and said, "Add this one, and it can suppress the toxicity for 12 hours."
"I think if we gather the entire Imperial Hospital, we will have a result within 12 hours."
Everyone was skeptical. Is it really that magical?
At this moment, the Great Prince jumped up, "Ahhhh."
Everyone was shocked. What happened? Was the poison taking effect?
An imperial physician loudly questioned, "Ghost Doctor, you haven't done anything wrong, have you? If anything happens to the prince, you're dead."
The ghost doctor sneered, "So, I don't like dealing with people like you. You all pretend to be righteous, but you only do immoral things."
"I have no ability, so I'm the number one blame-shifter."
He was so sharp-tongued that he scolded all the doctors so harshly that their faces turned red.
The emperor finally understood. The reason why the Ghost Doctor and Yun Zheng got together was because of their bad smell...ah, because they shared the same sense of righteousness.
The same arrogance and the same sharp tongue.
"Okay, stop making trouble."
As soon as he spoke, no one dared to say anything.
He asked with concern, "Emperor, how are you?"
The eldest prince touched his arm and then his chest, his face full of disbelief.
"Father, I'm not in pain anymore. I feel no different than usual."
This is amazing.
The second prince was also surprised, "I don't feel any pain anymore, it really is a miracle drug."
The emperor was a little surprised and waved his hand, "Take the pulse."
The imperial doctors took turns feeling his pulse, their expressions complicated. "The poison has been brought under control, but we still need to find a way to eliminate it."
The emperor raised his eyebrows, "Ghost doctor."
The ghost doctor glanced at Yun Zheng, who nodded slightly. Then he said, "I'll write a prescription. It's up to you whether it can be used or not."
He paused and added, "Don't try to put the blame on me. You are the imperial physician."
The imperial doctors looked at each other and gathered together to discuss the prescription.
The more the emperor saw the ghost doctor, the more he liked him. Such a great doctor must be kept by his side.
"Ghost Doctor, from now on you will be employed as the Imperial Physician, and your medical rank is eighth. I will...reward you with an eighth-rank official position."
This is an order, not a negotiation.
All under heaven belongs to the king, and all within the four seas are the king's subjects.
All the people in the world are his subjects, and whoever he chooses is his blessing.
The ghost doctor looked calm, "Thank you for your appreciation, Your Majesty, but I've been researching all kinds of poisons for years, and I have a bad temper. I poison people when I'm angry. I can't change this habit."
Everyone: ...
This is so scary, who would dare to work with him?
The emperor also hesitated. He thought that the poison skills were too advanced and his character was too unruly. It was not safe to keep him around.
The ghost doctor also said, "What is a ghost doctor? It means killing people invisibly like a ghost."
It was like a basin of cold water poured down, extinguishing all the emperor's thoughts.
"Well, if you don't want to, forget it. But if you are summoned, you must obey the order and come to the palace."
The ghost doctor said calmly, "I'll try my best."
The Queen suddenly spoke, "What? You still dare to disobey the imperial order? Aren't you afraid of moving the Lianyun family?"
The ghost doctor looked at her deeply and said, "I have been traveling around all year round just to collect herbs. If Your Majesty can get me the herbs from the top of the mountains and the depths of the sea, I won't have to leave the capital."
The Second Prince suddenly spoke up, "Ghost Doctor, I hire you as the palace physician of the Prince's Mansion. All supplies will be provided by the Yun Mansion."
The eldest prince was not willing to be outdone. Having such a person in his hands was like having an extra weapon.
"Ghost Doctor, if you come to my house, your salary will be increased by 20%."
The Fourth Prince snorted coldly, "Big Brother, Second Brother, you are so stingy, Ghost Doctor, I will double your salary."
The ghost doctor looked serious, "Are you sure?"
The Fourth Prince patted his chest and assured, "Yes, I am sure. Everyone present can testify for me."
The ghost doctor smiled slightly, "Okay, give me some of the herbs I just mentioned."
The Fourth Prince's expression froze. What? Even his father might not have those treasures.
The ghost doctor continued, "Thirty thousand taels of gold a year, plus a dividend, no less than ten thousand taels of gold..."
The Fourth Prince calculated and gasped, "Wait a minute, you're not wrong, are you? That adds up to four hundred thousand taels a year?"
The annual expenses of the Prince’s Mansion are less than 400,000 taels!
The Ghost Doctor nodded as a matter of course, "Yes, the Yun Mansion is two hundred and twenty thousand silver coins, you have to double it."
"Ah, and you have to provide all my food, clothing, and daily necessities, including everything from flying in the sky to swimming in the sea. I don't ask for expensive things, but they must be nutritious."
The corners of the Fourth Prince’s mouth twitched. Those were delicacies from land and sea, how could they be cheap?
"Princess Jinyun, are you really willing to do this?"
No matter how capable he was, he was just a doctor. He thought he could be paid a few thousand taels a year.
Yun Zheng smiled slightly, "It's just a small amount of money."
Two hundred thousand taels of silver were simply called a small amount of money!
Is there still justice in the world?
But she is the Goddess of Wealth, so she has the capital.
Everyone was so jealous and envious.
An imperial physician couldn't help but stand up and said something shocking.
